Studies in pre-Roman dress are an important part of the DressID project, as well as Roman dress, ... more Studies in pre-Roman dress are an important part of the DressID project, as well as Roman dress, as the earlier material helps to understand the origins of local dress variants in the Roman provinces. In the Roman provinces of Noricum and Pannonia we know of elaborate headdresses, hats, veils and bonnets that were typical elements of local dress, and were depicted on tombstones in the 1st, 2nd and early 3rd centuries AD. The use of hats and veils clearly had its origins in Iron Age culture. There we have rich evidence for headdresses of different kinds. The aim of this article is to present those sources, focusings on the central ande Alpine area, i.e. modern Austria, Slovenia and part of northern Italy.
